CONDITION' OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Paokinf; House Strike Inures Trade with
Both Jobbers and Retailers.
OUTLOOK GOOD FOR FALL BUSINESS
gar Hell las? at Highest Polat im
Msay Months aad Stilt Hlaheal
Prices Art l'fiy pre
dicted.' .,"
Business was rather quiet last weeX In
Omaha and tributary territory, both In a
wholesale and retail way. There are sev
eral reasons advanced In explanation of
tins state of affairs. In the first place
the early part of August Is a between
season period, lietnllers make an effort
to sell out the remninder of their summer
stocks at reduced trices, but the demand
Is naturally limited even at the bargnln
counter prloes. With wholesalers business
Is quiet for the reason that retailers aa
a general thing have placed their advance
orders and they are not ready to come t
market to complete their buying of fnll
stocks. These are all normal condition
and cause little comment and no worry,
About the only factor In the trade situa
tion which 'Is not normal is the packing
house strike. Owing to that the movement
of live stock from the country has been
grently curlnlled and at this time of year
about the only source of revenue to farm
ers is their live stock. Shipments of hurt
In particular should be heavy and were it
not for the strike the remainder of the fat
cattle left In the country would be coming
forward. Thla Is also the opening of the
season for grass cattle and if they were
being marketed by the tralnload it would
mean that an immense amount of cash
would be going back to the country. This
temporary curtailment of the usual revenue
from live stock has necessarily affected
trade in the country and also collections
to a marked degree.
The outlook lor the future, however. 1 1
considered moat encouraging. The excel-!
lent condition of crops makes both wlifil '
salers and retailers confident that fall buaer,'
ness will be exceptionally large and a.'
preparations are being merle on that bnslt
The markets are In abeut the usual mid, .
summer condition. Prices on summer linen
are of course cut to plecea to quite ail',
extent and the market on fall and wlntet .
lines Is rather quiet. The fact that this,
Is presidential year has a tendency to.'
weaken some lines and make people cau-.
tlous about buvln too far In advance..
rders this fall will probably be smaller,
IIUI Ilioio iirijuriii iiiiui . J " Mnis. ah.
general Impressian, though, seems to ba
that In a few weeks when fall busineaa
gets well under way that values will
stiffen and that people will not be so
cautious as at the present time because of
the good business that Is sure to coma
from bountiful crops In nearly all section
of the country. There la undoubtedly aa
underlying feeling of confidence In future
values which Is sure to develop and become
apparent when the summer lethargy Is
cast aside.
Isggr on th Boom.
Wholesale grocers report business as be
ing falsi for the time of year. They hava
not been exactly rushed, but still for mid
summer they have been enjoying a good,
trade.
The market has not fluctuated to any
great extent, being in rather a waiting
condition, except in the case of sugar,
which la decidedly stronger than it was a
week ago. The enormous demand for
sugar that has been experienced ever elnca
the opening of the small fruit season baa
carried prices steadily upward and aa
everything points to a continued heavy .
consumption during the remainder of the
season, those beHl posted freely predict
still higher prices. As compared with a
week ago the market is 10 points higher
and all grades are affected. ' Raws ar
quoted as hlsh as 4Vio In New York, which,
breaks the record for a great many montha
but It Is, though the high point has not
yet been reached and In fact many re
finers are predicting a still further advance
Of 16'fl'6o per 100 pounds.
Other lines of staple groceries have not .
fluctuated to any great extent during th
week under review. Dried fruits, canned
goods, rice and all such classes of good
are moving out as well as oould be ex
pected, considering the time of year,
Cottem Goods Holding; Their Own.
The cotton goods market la about th
same as it waa a week ago, so far as quo
tations are concerned. In some lines 'of
staples, however, a scarcity of popular
make is threatened. The strike at Fall
river has made It difllcult to buy print iu
firompt delivery and many other lines re
sted to print cloths are expected to ad
vance. Stocks ara being gradually depleted
and the market Is thought to be quite bar
ren of goods in first hands.
Trade with local dry goods houses ha
been rather quiet, but probably no more sa
than would naturally he expected for the
first week In August. Jobbers have been
making use of the opportunity to rush out
their fall advance orders, and they hav
also sentrepresentatlves cn the trade ex
cursions with the Idea of making ne
friends for the Omaha market But whll
trade was quiet last week an Improvement
ia looked for this coming week. The usual
reduction In railroad fares for the benefit
of merchants expecting to come to market
will go Into effect this week and last for
ten days and it Is expeoted that a great
many merchants will take advantage of
the opportunity to come to Omaha and lay
In their fall ttocks. Jobbers have made
preparations for an enormous house trade
and expect as bis an Increase over last
year as they have made In their advance
orders.' ......
Hat snd cap Jobber are also looking for
ward to an excellent fall business and e
pect It to be well under way by the mlddl
of the month. Styles are not to be ma
terially different for fall than they hav
been during the spring and summer. In
the soft hat the Pan-Tonrlst style, with
both plain and fancy hands, will be very
good this fall and winter, ae well as for
next snrlng. In the stiff hat there will be
little change In the block. Black will be th
prevailing style, though browns will b
worn to some extent. In the east brown
have been pushed very hard and with soma
little success.
Several Changri la Hardware.
The hardware market fluctuated hack
and forth to quite an extent last week.
Blieet lino advanced Ho per pound and,
solder also moved upward. Tin plate, on
the other hand, is off K0c per box, owing
to the condition of the Iron market. Axes,
however, have been marked up f I per dozen
and hatchets 6)e per dozen. There have
been numerous other changes of minor Im
portance, but the leading staples not men
tioned above are selling about where thejr
were a week airo. ,
There la evidently a growing opinion,
among- the heaviest consumers of pig Iron,
that the market has reached the bottom,
as Is shown by numerous heavy purchase
made last week, some firms placing order
to cover their requirements for the fol
lowing twelve months. That leads to the
belief thnt the market will be more actlv
In the future, with a better tone and wltrt
the tendency of prices upward rather than
otherwise. Omaha Jobbers are all count
ing on a good, healthy market from thl
time on end nre prepared to handle the
heaviest builnesa In their experience.
Implement men are flpuring on Having am
exceptionally good trade on farm wagons. "

corn crop. For the last two years the
wnirnn trade hns been rather disappointing,
owln to the light corn crop, and for that
rensnn iohliers excectx the demand thl
vear to be fill the heavier. Shovel boards
shou'd also move freely and fill kinds of
tools used In harvesting th corn crop.
Leather ftnod Quiet.
Leather goods Jobbers are not doing much
Immediate business. They are getlii:g In a
few sifclnB up orders, but they are not
large. Their time Is being tnken up shlp
plna their advance orders, of which they
